Virgin Hearts: Plum Valley book 2 & Elite 8 prequel: Emmy Sanders

Virgin Hearts is a book I knew I would love, so I hoarded it away, like a ✨️PRECIOUS✨️ (gollum's voice) and saved it for the right time.

Last night, Emmy took me back to Plum Valley and I had the BEST time.

Virgin Hearts is Hawthorne's story. We'll, originally I thought it was gonna be Hawthorne's story. But really, it was Mateo's.

I was planning a DIX, and then Elite 8, reread but thought, I want Silver's story. Hear me, I am SO GLAD I read this.

• age gap
• cowboy/p○rn star
• first time (with a man)
• later in life awakening
• past DV
• scared to love
• falling in love over the phone/facetime
• found family

Hawthorne wins a giveaway from Elite 8, he wins A GAY FOR A DAY and $5000 for an event. Hawthorne wants to help his nephew plan the first Plum Valley Pride day.

Mateo wants to go on vacation, somewhere with a cabana boy LOL. But Hawthorne's video application locks him into going to Texas for a week.

I like that this is really a story about falling in love. Hawthorne falls first, and then the navigation around what being scared opens up.

This was a wonderful story. I loved seeing Wyatt and Easton again, and the joking between the brothers. I loved the look into Elite 8 and how Emmy kickstarts that series from this book.

There were a TON of feelings, and Rabbit & Matty have definitely nestled their way right into my heart.

This book was amazing and can definitely be read as a standalone (but read Fool Hearts anyway, because it's my favorite and I wanna talk about it!!!)

The Legend Next Door: Totally Pucked Book 2: Jesse H. Reign

I think this may be the hardest review I've ever had to write. I can't believe I'm saying this because I genuinely believed that Unbreak Me would remain my favorite Jesse book of all time... but THE LEGEND NEXT DOOR has, without a doubt, taken that spot. I loved this book. I LOVED IT. Jesse chose violence with this one because I died multiple times while reading. Died. Dead. Ben Stirling. Holy hell. BEN STIRLING CAN GET IT. Where did he come from 👀 I need to know. Jesse. How do I get a Ben Stirling, please? And Jeremiah. JELLY. Oh my god, Jelly. Both mmcs had no right to be as perfect as they were. It's just uncalled for. My heart can't take it. And Luca. 😭😭😭😭 I usually don't like kids in books, but Luca was such a sweet little character- and seeing Ben with his son was SO SWEET. But seeing Jeremiah with him was so much sweeter. The grief? God. It hit like a punch. The biawakening? Felt as natural as breathing. Believable, too. The chemistry? O...

Brim Over Boot: Darling Brothers book 2: Emmy Sanders

Image
Oh my god, I am UNWELL. I shouldn't be surprised, but this one snuck up on me. BRIM OVER BOOT was fantastic. I'll be the first to admit that enemies to lovers is not my go-to genre. But Colt and Noah were damn enjoyable to read. From the beginning, you could see that Noah was under Colt's skin, and I was so here for when things started happening. And lord did they! Their love story is packed full of humor, rivalry, ridiculousness, and miscommunication/misunderstanding. They're idiots, your honor. But they're also SWEETHEARTS. Colt's struggle and fight along with Noah's possessiveness and patience. It's swoony over here! I loved seeing the Darling family again and meeting Walter. AND the Darling donkey cameo! I will die for Remington, if necessary. I could go chapter by chapter listing everything I loved about this one because Colt and Noah were just that good! BRIM OVER BOOT is out May 22nd. You still have time to read (or reread) book one, Sweet Like Wh...

Wilder Heart: KT Yarrow

Image
Y'all, I LOVED THIS STORY. I saw it available to arc read, and I took a chance. I am SO glad I did. I loved Cash & Wilder. If you love cowboy romances, 10/10 recommend this one. I've been crying off and on throughout the entire book. Wilder was such an amazing character. His back story was TOP TIER, and how he got introduced to the story kept me engaged the entire time. And Cash. Don't get me started on him. He is the perfect cowboy and the perfect place for Wilder to land. After being released from prison, omg that story broke my heart, Wilder goes back to his family ranch. But so much has changed, and so has he, and he doesn't quite feel like he fits anymore. Cash, the ranch foreman, is Wilder's boss... but he becomes so much more. This story has so much HEART and family dynamics. Lain, Wilder's brother and his family, also have to adjust with Wilder being back on the ranch. And the other ranch hands too. Everything is a part of the story. But there were s...
